{Pinecones + Pretties}: A Palette of Cool Blues + Warm Browns

August 2, 2011

{Chocolate Brown, Slate Blue, Powder Blue, Camel, Gray + White}

Well, hello there my sweet, color loving friends. And how are you doing on this glorious Tuesday? Thanks so much for all of the love and support yesterday what with my big announcement of the new domain! It's definitely been an exciting few days for me and I just can't wait to share with you all that is to come. Today, however, I have a little Winter inspiration for you. I don't know about you, but I'm loving this color palette of cool blues and warm browns. That's why when bride-to-be, Rebecca wrote to me with this pretty little palette in mind, I could not wait to put some ideas together for her {continued...}

Anyone else love the idea of taking wedding photos in a snowy landscape? Sure, it would be chilly but hey..it would beat this heat wave we're all experiencing. I guess there's just something so very cozy about these colors to me. It's a palette that exudes a timeless feel and one that is full of sweet ideas.

One of the ideas I'm absolutely loving is this lovely hot chocolate display complete with miniature donuts. Can you imagine a hot chocolate bar set up at your reception? To me, it's unique ideas that will really make such a sweet and memorable statement. Oh, and who isn't loving all of these pinecone ideas? A pinecone bouquet sounds absolutely perfect for a winter wedding. And what about those rustic, handcrafted table numbers? They seem to have a way of fitting right in with this collection of Winter pretties.

Wow...I can't believe summer is almost over! Beautiful board! I esp love the last two photos, which I think I saw on Pinterest just the other day...it was probably you that pinned them! Great choices :)

i love the more earthy colors you put together. it is really fun to see. I think of green or brown, and then I see a post like this that just expands on those and brings all the colors to life. It is really cool that you add these still among all the bright posts!

I would love a hot chocolate bar at a wedding. Especially with donuts! I don't know what it is about the two together but ever since Lady dipped hers into cocoa in Lady and the Tramp I've loved the combo ;)

I love this color palette. I'm originally from Poland where snowy winters and cold are part of our lives, and pine cones easy to find. I love hot chocolate on days like that, it reminds me days back in Poland with my family and friends.

Such a beautiful and cozy palette. I love everything about this winter bride...seen her before, LOVE! xoxo Have a great week and happy holidays...I hope the little one has a great holiday along with his mom and dad!
